What temps are you getting with that cooler?

tommy H nice stuff there, why dont you nick a mobo tray from a case, then the 8800 can be supported better

You are going to Kill that NB and SB.
The Heat Pipes will not remove any heat at all being in a BTX Board.
Please look at this thread..

You should seriously look into some after market coolers. (I love the ones in the link)
Basically, This board is known for running hot as it is, so you are making things much worse by inverting it.

Brian - thanks for the concern. I've read about the issue you pointed out, but have to admit I'm not too worried. This is actually my "back-up" computer, and I just moved the current components into it while I'm waiting for my new case to arrive. So, I don't think I'm going to kill it with a bit of web browsing and Excel.
Can you recommend a better motherboard for this case when I upgrade it permanently? It really is a great little case.

You have a very nice MoBo for your Backup RIG.
Basically, the BTX is an interesting design of case, when selecting a MOBO for it just stay away from any North / SOuth combo that use passive cooling in the form of heat pipes.
Active cooling is perhaps a good idea.
I'll look into it.

that's actually not a BTX it's an inverted ATX with BTX the CPU should be right behind the front bezel using the intake fan as a CPU fan
As far as i know the heatpipes arent influenced in their cooling if the mainboard is upside down.Someone in the spcr3v13w forums also claims that nasa uses heatpipes and in space there is no gravity,thus a motherboard with heatpipes does not need to stand with the cpu up for better cooling.
